Game of Thones: Season 5 Episode 6

Hello once again! I figured since I did it last week, and because American Idol is over – why not continue my conversations while watching Game of Thrones. This time I watched with my best pal Jess. She’s also read the books (remember I only like to talk to people who’ve read the books so they can give me, the non-book reader, some better understanding).

And like last time, I’ve added some stuff, re-arranged some stuff because Jess started a few minutes before me thanks to me having to do some re-winding and whatnot. I also added some tweets from this person I don’t know but recently started following. If you wanna follow her, you can find her at @motelsonthemoon. Anyway, here ya go! Enjoy 🙂

JW:

Ok. I’ve got it paused at the beginning

KB:

cool. I’m just looking at The Rocks beautiful face.
I hope his show is good but I hated Entourage so I imagine I will end up not liking it.

JW:

It’s nuts. I think I’d have rather not read the books at this point cause they are veering wildly off course now

Oh the Rock

KB:

I’ve heard that

JW:

I want to like that show too

KB:

although my friend Katie posted something like “as a book reader not much shocks me, this episode shocked me” so I’m curious what she’s talking about (although I think I know)

I’m watching the “previously on”. I think it’s almost done.

JW:

Yay

KB:

ok it’s starting for realsies

UGGGGGHHH hold on. Someone is talking… let me pause while I eye roll in his direction…

ok sorry. and then he’s like – oh you’re watching GoT? Well guess what, this just happened – guess I definitely know what’s gonna happen at the end of the episode now… grumble grumble. At least it’s what I thought it was.

JW:

Seriously. OMG.

KB:

I mean I know most of the spoilers and when he said what happened I figured that’s what it was but come on

ok so I really don’t get arya’s life right now, well her storyline. I mean I get the like “you must become no one” but what are they doing with these maybe possibly dead people?

**Side note: Best comment regarding Arya’s new life:

JW:

Yeah, you’ll see.

KB:

I better. I’m getting impatient. lol

“You will know why. When it’s time, not before…” ugh, thanks bitch.

JW:

Haha

KB:

seems like this chick and Arya have a little bit in common… well, if it’s true I guess. By her attitude I’m guessing it’s not true? Is that girl even really a girl or is she that guy? I guess we’ve seen them together so probably not…

JW:

Who knows what is true anymore? lol

KB:

Word. So she’s just getting beat until she says she’s no one? I mean, come on dude… Arya, get the net.

JW:

She’s a bit hard headed.

KB:

Clearly. lol.

Poor Jorah. I really want him to live 😦

JW:

Me too

KB:

I hope if he dies (probably when…) he at least does it noble-y

JW:

He’s one of my favorites.

KB:

I find myself making deals with this show like, I’ll be ok with Jorah dying if it means Brienne is ok.

JW:

I don’t know how I never put two and two together. . That the Commander was his dad.

KB:

Yeah, I didn’t either. Although in the scenes from last week when they showed him I was like, why are they showing that guy again (but I wasn’t really listening)… then I was like, AHA! When the scene happened – How did we not put two and two together? I mean, you read the books. haha

So at what point do you think the stone-skin stuff like, really changes you into those crazy people?

Awkward that Tyrion’s gotta tell him his dad died. Whoopsies. Um, duh he didn’t know TYRION. What, you think a man on the run in the fake middle ages gets email?

JW:

Yeah, Ravens are freaking slow. Frown emoticon

KB:

haha. For serious.

So people take like, sick people to this temple too? How did they get in but they give Arya a hard time? Is it because she wasn’t sick?

JW:

Yeah.

KB:

Is this another trick? Is the sick girl that bitch from earlier and the dad is faceless man guy?

JW:

It’s a trap! lol. I don’t know…

KB:

When was Arya sick and dying? Do we know that happened? Do book readers know that happened? When’s someone come up behind her and whip her like last time? I feel like now that girl is gonna turn into a dragon or something

JW:

Haha. It’s not true. She’s lying.

KB:

Aha. Wow moment numero dos. Well, not wow, but aha.

What’s in that water? The suspense is killing me. Is this a trap?

JW:

It’s weird.

KB:

where is she gooooooooing?

So they kill people… Clean ‘em up .. And make skin suits out of them? How very Hannibal Lector of them.

**Afterthought – is that girl they brought in supposed to look like Arya-esque so she can inhabit her face?

JW:

I don’t get this place.

KB:

and then they use their weird magic to inhabit these peoples faces (or their whole bodies? Is that why they have to do all the body washing and whatnot?)

I love how vast it looks though. It’s a cool little underground palace

you know, minus the creepy heads and whatnot

JW:

Lol yeah… That place is huge

KB:

wonder what made her ready to become someone else, when she’s still talking about her past history

JW:

I dunno… because she let the girl die? Because she lied to the girl maybe?

KB:

maybe. who knows. but did that fountain kill her?

“Targaryeans are famously insane” hahaha

“Ever heard baby dragons singing? Hard to be a cynic after that” – have we ever heard baby dragons singing? I don’t think I’d be that impressed… Tyrion is bringing up some good points I hadn’t thought of about how others might see Dany… but I think I’m still on her team.

So, Since they punched Jorah, will they get stone-skin crap? Will Tyrion get it because the slave guys touched both of them?

JW:

I don’t think you get it until the person is all stone y

KB:

“it’ll be a dwarf sized cock” “guess again” hahahahahahahaha

They could always bring a dead body though… the slavers haven’t really thought this through…

JW:

Lol. Oh Tyrion… That is a great line

KB:

I mean, they’ve mentioned his non-dwarf sized appendage before. haha

I want to hear one of the songs they wrote about Jorah. I would’ve made Tyrion sing one.

JW:

Peter… He’s gonna get himself in trouble.

KB:

Fuck that guy. I hate littlefinger.

JW:

Me too. He’s even worse in the books.

KB:

I don’t know who I hate more… Baelish or those weird religious people. Are those weird cult-ies gonna do something to him?

JW:

I have a weird attraction to the guy who plays him though… And his accent

KB:

He has a rat face to me, but I don’t think he’s un-attractive. Just “not my type” attractive. Isn’t Baelish supposed to be some kind of religious person?

I had to re-wind because I missed the beginning of Cersie conversation

JW:

He’s a money guy, not religious. He only provided “services” to the priest guys.

KB:

it’s more his clothes that made me think he had some kind of religious background. He dresses like a bougie monk – is that an oxymoron?

JW:

Yeah, with his leather dress…

Oh.. He’s telling Cersei about Sansa

KB:

God he’s fucked up. Is there anyone he won’t turn on? Is he trying to get her to do something to the Boltons? I kind of hope so if that’s his angle – Hey Cers, hows about you go skin you some Ramsay and Roose? Have their sigil made out of them!

JW:

I wanna know how Cersei keeps her hair so perfectly curled

KB:

Because she’s a bad bitch.

JW:

With no electricity.

KB:

She probably uses the burning fingers of children.

So clearly Baelish just wants power. who the fuck are the Lannisters gonna strike with? And Baelish wants Warden of the North? As if…

**Side note – Cersei’s def right about Lysa….

JW:

haha.

KB:

I mean, what’s this tools end game? He’s basically Frank Underwood in House of Cards… or the Penguin in Gotham. More like Frank though, I think.

JW:

YES! That’s exactly his game. If he’s got the Aerie (from marrying Lysa), then marries Sansa and he gets Winterfell and becomes Warden of the North.

KB:

mmhhmmm…

I like how the Dorne King guy wants to protect his son/Cersei Jr.

aw poor Mycella… she’s got a hot husband and her dads gonna kidnap her because he thinks he’s doing the right thing…

JW:

She does look a lot like Cersei. He’s basically king already. I want them to be together. They’re cute.

KB:

Why is the King in a wheelchair?

JW:

In the book he has gout.

KB:

seems legit… the Kings disease, isn’t it? or just rich people disease?

JW:

I love Bron! Brom? Whatever his name is..

KB:

I like the sand snake chicks. These girls are about to go balls out aren’t they? where are they going? To find Jamie?

or to make sure Jamie and Bronn don’t get Cersei Jr? Or are they going after Cersei Jr?

JW:

I think they’re trying to kill Myrcella. I think.

KB:

ok that’s what I was thinking. Fight scenes always make me nervous but that one was lame. All those people fighting, especially notoriously badass snakes, and no one dies? That’s very non-GOT-like. I guess I’m happy because I don’t really want any of these people to die.

Now I’m wondering how all these people even got into the water gardens? Isn’t it part of the palace? Can anyone go there?

JW:

Oh for fucks sake. lol. That should’ve been so much better. Weak scene.

KB:

YESSSSSSS Granny is back!! The best character in all the land!

JW:

She’s the best

KB:

if she doesn’t stay safe I will stop watching this show. The only acceptable death for her is comfortably in her bed. He’s better with women deaths than he is with men (Martin, that is) so hopefully she’ll be ok

JW:

Burn

KB:

What veil? hahaha

JW:

I love her.

KB:

House Lannister has no rivals – um… might wanna check on that Cers. That’s old news.

JW:

Maybe before daddy lion bit the dust.

KB:

Bingo. Everyone hates Cers. Who’s going to do business with her?

JW:

This guy freaks me out.

KB:

Yeah, I wanted to like the old grampy but I really don’t. He’s nuts. I did like when he played Juan Peron in Evita though, if that’s any consolation.

I like the beard that Loras is rocking though… Makes him almost look like Theon.

JW:

Yeah

KB:

This is not looking good for Loras… oh shit.

JW:

Uh oh… Margery too?

KB:

Cersei what kind of trick witchery do you have up your sleeve? She’s the fucking Queen. How is this being tolerated by Tommen? Stand up for your woman, boy!

fucking CSI up in this shit

JW:

Cersei done fucked up.

KB:

this old guy has gotta die. what the fuck man. And take that Oliver guy out while you’re at it.

aha, this Miranda chickadee… I still don’t know her angle.

JW:

She’s a freak.

KB:

Is she trying to be friends with her? Maybe just getting Sansa to trust her so that she can leak info to Ramsay? But I feel like she is maybe just giving her tips so she survives Ramsay?

JW:

She’s a nutcase. Straight up.

KB:

At least they show that Sansa sees through her. I was a little worried.

JW:

Sansa is kind of awesome.

KB:

At least her wedding dress is pretty, you know, for a Northerly look.

JW:

She’s one of the characters I didn’t care for at first.

KB:

I hated her for a solid 2 seasons. What was to like, with her sucking up to Joffrey? Barf. I don’t think I started liking her until the end of last season. And I’m still not sure if I like her or just pity her?

JW:

Yeah, she’s grown on me. Isn’t she still technically married to Tyrion though? I don’t get how they are marrying her off again

KB:

I hope Sansa finds out that Theon didn’t kill her family

Something about how since Tyrion never consummated the marriage?

JW:

Oh. I guess that makes sense.

KB:

Yeah, in weird fucked up crazy land.

JW:

In the books he lied.

KB:

Which makes sense. Let him think he’s rightful but then it’ll turn out he wasn’t and that way Baelish can marry Sansa.

Wasn’t it not even supposed to be Sansa? It was supposed to be like, someone pretending to be Arya?

JW:

Yeah Sansa is supposed to be somewhere with Peter, in the books.

KB:

I’m surprised Theon said his name was Theon and not Reek

Man Theon is another one I hated but ultimately feel really bad for

how do they do that with SO MANY characters in this damned book?

JW:

Lol. Right?!

KB:

the only people I’ve consistently hated from beginning to end are Ramsay and Joffrey

I do not think Ramsey is being honest about wanting her to be happy

JW:

Eeep. Ramsay freaks me the duck out.

KB:

word. the creepiest. even his smile is creepy

JW:

He plays creepy insane so well.

KB:

That’s the truth.

Is he gonna tell her he killed her brothers now? Even though he didn’t do that either?

JW:

Ew. Ew. Ew. Ewwwwwwwwwwwww.

KB:

Well this is uncomfortable…

JW:

Um…….. yeah. About that.

KB:

although at least they aren’t showing anything? Lets just express ourselves through other people’s twitters:

Honestly I thought it would be way more graphic based on what I saw on FB and Twitter last night while I wasn’t watching. I mean, it was uncomfortable but I’m glad I didn’t have to actually watch it.

JW:

It definitely wasn’t Game of Thrones Sex Scene-esque.

KB:

Hardly. But I get that it’s traumatizing. Especially if something like that has happened to you. I mean, ugh. And I mean, if I was Sansa I’d be like – wasn’t this just supposed to be some chick who looks like me? Why am I filling in for some rando?

JW:

Totally uncomfortable.

In the books the kids are all much younger too. They had to age them up I’m sure for propriety sake

KB:

Yeah for sure. People seem to frown on chi-mo’s on TV unless it’s SVU. But you’d think they’d frown on TV Rape as well. I mean, this is like, the 3rd rape scene in this TV show. Not to mention the child wifery.

I want this whole situation to make her not trust Baelish and get back with Brienne

And that’s the end of that. Looking forward to next weeks hopefully rape free Ep 7.
